During the sitdown, Putin denied any allegations Russia interfered with the 2016 election or that they were holding damning information over Donald Trump’s head.

“I never met with him. We have a lot of Americans who visit us,” he said. “Do you think we’re gathering compromising information on all of them right now or something? Are you all — have you all lost your senses over there?”
